Well, it’s 97 F (or 36 C) but the humidity could be worse, so it must be time to start the new fall semester. For those of you who had a chance to take some time off, welcome back – yes, the traffic IS really worse. If you are new to K-State – there are over 60 new faculty and staff to our college – we are glad to have you here. Based on our Orientation & Enrollment sessions over the summer, we will see another record year of student enrollment, in my opinion.
Here’s a look at what’s coming up in our college over the next few weeks:
August
20 – SPARK! Orientation
21 – New Transfer Student Orientation & Enrollment
22 – New Freshmen Orientation & Enrollment
25 – Classes begin
